BOLU
Category: Belirtilmemiş
BOLUThe region of Bolu is a nice stop to break the journey between Istanbul and Ankara, as it is situated approximately half way between the two cities. It is located in the middle of thick forests and a green nature. Abant Lake situated at an altitude of 1,500m/ 4,921 feet, and the National Park of Yedigöller (Seven Lakes) are wonderful places.
Bolu and its surrounding towns had a significant effect in Ottoman cuisine as the best cooks of the Ottoman Empire were from this area. Mengen, a small town near Bolu still holds this tradition, where the biggest cook festivals in Turkey are held.
